Microsoft Dynamics Axapta Technical,Functional Coverage

Customer Portal in Axapta Customer Portal gives service customers access to their service related data over an enterprise portal whenever required, thereby providing a new 365 days a year,24 hours a day kind of interaction between the service company nd the customer. A decrease in the tasks associated with giving service customers access to the data through other communication channels (telephone, e-mail messages, and so on) is expected. Basically, Customer Portal helps the Service customer who has two groups of requirements: • The need to view the data relevant for the service operation done on service items • The need to connect to the service company to initiate a service request

Tasks in Lead Management of Axapta CRM Lead Management enables users to manage and maintain lead records by: • Creating records - manual entries in the Lead maintenance or Lead entry forms • Reviewing records - records can be viewed in multiple ways such as by status or subject • Modifying records - specific information about a lead can be changed to update records • Deleting records - permanently remove lead records from the database. Users have the option to restrict deletion of records that a company does not want deleted

Lead Management in Axapta CRM Lead Management is a feature of Sales Force Automation that enables sales teams to collect and store information about a lead and also develop sales activities and tasks that qualify leads into opportunities. Lead Management consists of two main components: • Lead Management - creating, reviewing, updating, and deleting lead information. • Lead Qualifying Process - creating, reviewing, updating, and deleting stages or steps and also activities that are needed to qualify or disqualify a lead.

Introduction of CRM module in Axapta Microsoft Dynamics™ AX 2009 has many new features in the CRM module that enable a clearer view of a company’s sales processes. These clearer views enable companies to better manage and conduct their sales processes, as well as enable better documentation of processes and procedures for future use. The CRM module, together with the rest of the modules in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, has new navigation features that enable users to configure their own workspace. Users can decide what forms and lists to display on their home page to avoid having to search for forms and lists used most frequently. Preconfigured role pages help users in setting up their home page. Another new feature is the ability to view and conduct sales force activities through the Enterprise Portal. Almost any sales force activities in the application can now be performed through the portal. This enables mobile workers, customers, and vendors access to information and tasks t...

Batch Framework of Inventory closing in axapta The new design of the batch framework helps users secure the running of an inventory closing in a batch, and the help machines for the closing will now be started automatically.

Inventory Close Cancellation In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, cancellation of an inventory close or recalculation has been optimized for performance gains. The cancellation job will now use the batch framework in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009. Each item will be handled as a separate task by the batch framework and the batch framework will keep track of the dependencies between the tasks. Finally, all ledger postings will occur within their own Transaction Tracking System (TTS) scope.

Costing Versions in axapta The Costing version setup form enables users to create distinct user-defined environments, for maintaining and calculating items’ planned costs and it can be found here: Inventory management > Setup > Costing versions Users can enter and maintain planned items’ costs, cost categories’ rate, indirect costs’ rate, and ratio in costing versions. The BOM calculation executed on the costing version calculates and appends the manufactured item planned costs to it. The costs created with a status of “pending” can be activated, discreetly or else in mass, to become effective and be applied to production costing and inventory valuation.

Indirect Cost in axapta Under full absorption costing methodology, manufacturing indirect costs are charged to products. This costing feature enables the definition, through the costing sheet, of the manufacturing indirect costs to be applied, either as a surcharge over other cost aggregates or else as a rate over production hours or quantities. Indirect costs contribute to the planned, estimated, and actual product and production costs. Indirect costs are applied and posted to ledger at the time of the resources consumption. A new Indirect cost transactions form has been introduced in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, and can be found here: Production > Production order details > Inquiries > Indirect cost transactions. The Indirect cost transactions form provides an overview of indirect costs applied on the production order

Procedures to Enable Cost Breakdown in axapta To enable cost breakdown in the configuration of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009,perform the following: 1. Open Administration > Setup > System > Configuration. 2. Expand the Logistics node. 3. Expand the Bills of materials node. 4. Select the Allow cost breakdown activation check box. To enable the cost breakdown in the Inventory management module, perform the following: 1. Open Inventory management > Setup > Parameters. 2. Click the Bills of materials tab. 3. Make a selection in the Cost Breakdown field. 4. Close the Parameters form.

Set Up Variances on Standard Cost Posting Profile To set the ledger accounts to apply for posting the variances to standard cost in the ledger, perform the following steps: 1. Open Inventory management > Setup > Posting > Posting. 2. Click the Standard cost variance tab in the Inventory posting form. 3. Select the type of variance for which to setup the ledger accounts. 4. Press CTRL+N to create a new line. 5. Select the Item relation and Cost relation that will govern the ledger account resolution. 6. Select the Account number. 7. Make a selection in the Site field. 8. Save the record and close the Inventory posting form

Standard Cost in Axapta When a new standard cost is activated on an item, the system immediately revalues both inventory and Work in Process (WIP), at the new standard cost. It records the revaluation variances in the process to account for the difference to the prior standard cost. This is a list of the types of variance available for standard cost: • Variances to standard cost are captured through different variance types at every stage.• Purchase price variance is captured upon purchase receipt and invoice matching. • Cost change variances are captured upon transfers and credit notes. • Revaluation variances are captured upon standard cost change. • Production variances are captured upon production end. This can be optionally separated between cost, quantity variance, substitution and lot size variance. Ultimately, items defined by using a standard cost valuation method no longer require the inventory close process to be performed.

If you have created a credit note in AX, you can do it in a sales order or purchase order separately or in original order. An important detail when we are creating a credit note in the original order is the field delete rows in the order that appears on the screen after using the button functions option to create a credit note . If you leave this field  as selected, it will delete the transaction's original order, keeping only the line of credit note that you are creating. So, if it is worthwhile keeping in the same order the history of the original transaction and the credit note you can  clear this option.

Override methods on the AOT report node to control the details of cross company behavior. For example, you can override the report's init method with the following X++ code. public void init() { super(); this .query() .allowCrossCompany( true ); this .query() .addCompanyRange( "dat" ); this .query() .addCompanyRange( "dmo" ); }

crossCompany Keyword on the X++ Select Statement The following code example populates a table buffer with all the BankAccountTable rows that have a dataAreaId of either cm1 or cm2. This example assumes that the user has authority to access data for these two companies. The first two dataAreaId values that are found will be printed. BankAccountTable tabBAT; // saveDataPerCompany == true. container conCompanies = [ 'cm1', 'cm2' ]; str sCompanyPrevious =" "; int iCountCompanies = 0; ; while select crossCompany : conCompanies * from tabBAT order by dataAreaId { if ( sCompanyPrevious != tabBAT .dataAreaId ) { print( tabBAT .dataAreaId + " = tabBAT .dataAreaId" ); iCountCompanies++; if ( iCountCompanies >= 2 ) { break; } sCompanyPrevious = tabBAT .dataAreaId; } } pause; return;

How to Create a Cross-Company Query: 1. In X++, use the crossCompany keyword on the X++ select statement. 2. Set the allowCrossCompany property method to true on an instance of the Query class. 3. In the AOT, set the AllowCrossCompany property to Yes on a node under Query

Run Run() is called when the OK button is pressed in the dialog. Run() performs the following steps: If no generated design exists, a design is created on the fly based on the auto design. Call fetch() Call print() The method can be used for addingranges to the query after the Based On settings in the dialog Send Send() is related to fetch(). Fetch() iterates through the query records, and send() sends the records to the design. The method can be overridden to validate whether or not the record should be printed.

Pack and unpack This method is used for storing last values. It is used in conjunction with unpack(), which loads the last value stored. However unpack() is not a base method. If a new dialog field has been added, pack() is overridden to store the values from the dialog. Execute section Each section in the design has the executeSection method, which is used to print the section. The method can be used to validate whether or not the section must be printed

Definition of Fetch method in axapta This method is the engine of the report. Fetch() opens the user dialog, selects the records from the database by processing the query and sending the records to be printed. This method is generally overridden,when an expression cannot be specified in a query.

show data source information using axapta FormDatasource formDatasource; FormGroupControl formGroupControl; FormStaticTextControl formStaticTextControl; Counter counter; Counter noOfDatasources; ; noOfDatasources = this.form().dataSourceCount(); if (noOfDatasources) { formGroupControl = this.form().design().addControl(FormControlType::Group, "formGroupControl"); formGroupControl.caption("Tables used by form"); formGroupControl.frameType(3); } for (counter=1; counter <= noOfDatasources; counter++) { formStaticTextControl = formGroupControl.addControl(FormControlType::StaticText, "formStaticTextControl" + int2str(counter)); formStaticTextControl.text(tableid2name(this.form().dataSource(counter).table())); }

How to show only open order of sales in axapta FormCheckBoxControl checkBoxControl = this.controlCallingMethod(); QueryBuildRange rangeSalesStatus; Boolean ret; ; ret = checkBoxControl.modified(); rangeSalesStatus = SalesTable_ds.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(SalesTable)).findRange(fieldnum(SalesTable, salesStatus)); if (!rangeSalesStatus) { rangeSalesStatus = SalesTable_ds.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(SalesTable)).addRange(fieldnum(SalesTable, salesStatus)); } if (checkBoxControl.value() == NoYes::Yes) { rangeSalesStatus.enabled(true); rangeSalesStatus.value(queryValue(SalesStatus::Backorder)); } else { rangeSalesStatus.enabled(false); } SalesTable_ds.executeQuery();

Calling user Method in Axapta static void Forms_CallingUserMethod(Args _args) { Args args; Object formRun; ; args = new Args(); formRun = new menuFunction(menuItemDisplayStr(MyForm_CallingUserMethod), MenuItemType::Display).create(args); formRun.init(); formRun.setReadOnly(); formRun.run(); }

Use of Data Source Methods in axapta Adding a new record from a form will call the following sequence of data source methods: create() ► initValue() ► refresh() ► active() ► refresh() 1. The method create() is called when pressing ctrl+n to add a new record. 2. The data source initValue() is called by create(). You should initialize fields which must have a specific value in initValue(). The table method initValue() is called by super() in the data source initValue(). If the initialized values are not form specific, you should use the corresponding table method. 3. After initialization refresh() is called, and when entering a record active() is called. Refresh is called again by active(). When saving a record the following methods are called: validateWrite() ► write() ► refresh() 1. ValidateWrite() will call the table method validateWrite(). Again, always use the corresponding table methods if possible. 2. The data source method write() will call either insert() or update...

Common Form Methods in Axapta Only few of the form methods are needed in daily use. Having a basic knowledge of the execution order of these methods will help you a lot when starting making your modifications. The following methods are executed in the listed order when a form is opened and closed: init() ► ds init() ► run() ► ds executeQuery() ► canClose() ► close() 1. FormRun.init() is the first method called. The super() call in FormRun.init() will call FormDataSource.init() for each data source used in the form query. 2. The super() call in FormRun.run() will call FormDataSource.executeQuery() for every data sources. 3. When closing the form FormRun.canClose() will validate whether the form may be closed, and if true FormRun.close() is called. These are the most important methods executed when a form is opened and closed. Other methods are executed in the opening and closing sequences such as loading application user settings. However normally you will only need to override ...

Bitwise operators in axapta Bitwise operators are, as the name indicates, used to evaluate expression by using arithmetic and conditional operators at the bit level. These bitwise operators can only be used with integer values. A common situation for using bitwise operators is as an alternative to having a set of variables setting true or false values if you have to control some access controls with several levels. However the use of bitwise operators will make your code more difficult to read. This might be the reason that these operators are not commonly used in the standard application. In fact, the only place you may find yourself using the bitwise operators is when you are interfacing with external applications such as interacting directly with Windows API or need to do any low-level operations on the database. To be able to understand the result of an expression using bitwise operators, you will have to translate the integer values t...

Example of recursive call in axapta void recursiveCall(ProjId _projId = "") { ProjTable projTable; ; while select projTable where projTable.parentId == _projId { setprefix(projTable.parentId); info(projTable.projId); this.recursiveCall(projTable.projId); } }

Accessing Microsoft Outlook from Axapta using COM The Business Connector also referred to as the COM connector can be used to integrate Axapta with an external product. In this example Microsoft Outlook is accessed from Axapta using COM. To use this example you must have at least one licensed COM user. static void Classes_ReadFromOutlook(Args _args) { SysOutlookApplication sysOutlookApplication; SysOutlook_NameSpace sysOutlookNameSpace; SysOutlookMapiFolder sysOutlookMapiFolder; SysOutlook_Folders sysOutlookFolders; SysOutlook_Items collection; COM message; Notes messagebody; ; #sysOutLookComDef sysOutlookApplication = new sysOutlookApplication(); sysOutlookNameSpace = sysOutlookApplication.getNameSpace("c"); sysOutlookNameSpace.logon(); sysOutlookFolders = sysOutlookNameSpace.Folders(); sysOutlookMapiFolder = sysOutlookNameSpace.getDefaultFolder(#OlDefaultFolders_olFolderInbox); collection = sysOutlookMapiFolder.Items...

Global class in axapta All methods in the Global class are static methods. You can create instance methods in the Global class. However using an instance method would require declaring the class. The idea with Global is to have a collection of function create in X++ which can be referenced without specifying the class name. Methods in global are referred in the same way as a system function. Several of the methods are a supplement to the functions used for base type operations like the Global method date2StrUsr() which convert a variable of the type date to a string formatted by the user default date settings. You can add your own methods to the Global class. This can be useful if you have a piece of code often used. Before adding your own Global method, you should check the existing Global methods and the system functions located under System Documentation/Functions as you might find a function already solving your needs.
